Default Trunk Spoiler LEDs

When I press on the brake, for some reason they don't come on. I'm not sure if it is unplugged or if all the LEDs went out. Anyone else have this problem?

Mine is broken too, never got around fixing it =(

There are threads somewhere in the forum where people replaced led's or took another set of led's to stuff it in or just cleaned it because the connection is dirty or rusted. I loved how cleansc, i think, wired a set of new ones on his moon roof.

remove the connection and check it.... there is most likely a bad connection. ALL the led's can't just die, it has to be a problem in the circuit.

Mine don't work but that's because I unplugged them :P (only about 1/3 worked)

Connection is under the trunk lining on the passenger side.
